It’s annyoing I want to eat people - Chapter 39

Ji Hongyi’s stomach ache worsened on the way back from the monitoring room to the CDC.

He was sitting in the office looking for something to cushion his stomach when Secretary Liu knocked on the door and came in.

Secretary Liu said, “I’ve talked to Xiao Zhao. As you expected, Xiao Zhao took the gun and he was about to sell it in the black market. When patrolling last night, he found blood and a gun. After patrolling the floor, he disguised himself and went back to the seventh floor and took the gun.”

Secretary Liu took the gun from a bag and gave it to Ji Hongyi. His expression changed slightly when he saw it. As expected, it was the one he gave Xiao Yan.

Ji Hongyi nodded to Secretary Liu, and said, “Thanks.”

“Director, over there in the monitoring room…”

Ji Hongyi shook his head.

“What should I do then?”

Ji Hongyi held his forehead with his hand, his face was very bad, “Secretary Liu, go out first. I am a little tired after running for a few hours and want to take a break.”

It was the first time in his nearly 50 years that he had tasted “helplessness”. He didn’t know what he could do except wait.

On the third day of the incident, Ji Zhaoyan still did not appear. Ji Hongyi couldn’t understand how a person could evaporate like water vapor.

The previous day, he had asked Secretary Liu to report Xiao Yan’s disappearance to the Armed Forces Department. Secretary Liu also reported that the Armed Forces Department had also organized personnel to conduct an island-wide search, but one day passed and there was still no news.

Ji Hongyi was absent-mindedly dealing with official duties, while anxiously thinking about Ji Zhaoyan’s whereabouts. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and he thought it was new work that he needed to deal with, so he yelled “come in” irritably.

The knocker was frightened by the sound, and she hesitated for a while, but didn’t push the door to come in.

“Who?” Ji Hongyi shouted again.

The person who knocked on the door opened the door and came in. A researcher from Han Chi’s laboratory came in. Ji Hongyi was a little surprised, and his tone suddenly eased, “Are you looking for me?”

Zheng Siqi raised her eyes and glanced at Ji Hongyi’s expression, deeply regretting that she came to him at this time. The previous day, she heard that Ji Zhaoyan was missing, and Ji Hongyi was worried about finding his son, so he was in a bad mood. In the past two days, no one dared to provoke him, after all, they were worried about accidentally being killed.

“Oh, Director Ji, didn’t you say you had something urgent to discuss with Professor Han? Professor Han won’t be able to come to the CDC these two days. He was injured and said he would spend some time in the hospital,” Zheng Siqi finished her words tremblingly while checking Ji Hongyi’s face.

“Professor Han was injured? How did that happen?”

“Professor Han said he accidentally fell from the stairs.”

“Fell?” Such a coincidence.

Zheng Siqi nodded obediently.

“Okay, you go back and let Professor Han take a good rest.” 

After Zheng Siqi left, Ji Hongyi walked to the hospital on the island. Fortunately, there was only one hospital on the island, so he didn’t need to bother to find it. He walked to the hospital’s guidance desk, asked the nurse, and found out Han Chi’s room number.

In that ward, there were three other patients besides Han Chi. Ji Hongyi brought fruits to see him, and Han Chi happened to be awake.

Ji Hong cried out “Professor Han” expressionlessly, and put the fruit on the head of his bed.

Ji Hong called him without expression, “Professor Han!” And put the fruit at the head of his bed.

Han Chi turned his head and looked at him. He probably expected what Ji Hongyi was looking for him for. The look on his face didn’t change much.

“Where’s my son Ji Zhaoyan?”

Han Chi shook his head, “I do not know.”

Ji Hongyi was too lazy to cover up his anger and said, “You don’t know how your leg was hurt?”

“Your son shot me with a gun .” 

“Why would my son shoot you with a gun?”

“…”

“Can’t answer?” Ji Hongyi looked at him coldly and said, “I will answer for you, because you let go of his zombies. Han Chi, where did my son go?”

“Director Ji, your son was bitten by a zombie.”

Han Chi’s words were like thunder that exploded above Ji Hongyi’s head. His body softened and collapsed to the empty ward. He struggled to support his body with his hands and slowly looked up at Han Chi. His eyes were mixed with despair, anger and sadness, “Is that the zombie you rescued?”

“Yes,” Han Chi felt that there was no point in hiding it. Since Ji Hongyi had found him, he must have watched the surveillance video in the corridor on the 7th floor and came to the hospital to look for him to confirm it.

Ji Hongyi’s eyes were red, as if he would jump on the hospital bed and strangle him the next second.

Ji Hongyi was so angry that he trembled. Looking at Han Chi lying on the hospital bed, he gritted his teeth and said, “Han Chi, you killed my son.”

“Sorry, I didn’t expect this to happen.”

“Sorry? Didn’t you expect it? “Ji Hong sneered and said, “You will pay the price for that.” 

After that, Ji Hongyi took unstable steps and left the ward.
